Invest in a series of natural remedies that have the potential to outperform the popular melaleuca productsThe Business
The Company was founded to develop products using oil extracted from blue curls (Trichostema dichotomum), a plant indigenous to southern and western United States.
The blue curls plant contains terpenoids, which have antiseptic and antifungal properties. When distilled, blue curls produces an oil rich in terpinen-4-ol, the primary active compound found in the popular tea tree (melaleuca) oil, which is thought to be responsible for the oil’s antimicrobial activity. Blue curls oil is richer in terpinen-4-ol than the popular melaleuca oil with 63% per unit versus 38% in tea tree oil. Blue curl oil is also believed to be gentler with fewer side effects than tea tree oil and to contain esters and a mild fragrance that contrast to tea tree oil’s harsh odor.
The Company believes that the blue curls oil can be used in a series of products: lotions, creams, powders, mouthwashes, soaps, as a natural treatment for acne, athlete’s foot, dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, yeast infection and other problems.
Market
Founded in 2008, the Company owns two adjoining 40-acre parcels of land in Monterey County California wine country that have hundreds of thousands of blue curls plants indigenous on the Property. The Company is seeking funds to acquire distillation apparatus and related equipment to support the harvesting, distillation, manufacturing and processing of the blue curls plants, to support sales, marketing and advertising campaigns focused on the blue curls oil products, and to obtain full title to the land.
